Scores for the 2008 Vintage

2008 Zinfandel

Double Gold 2011 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

92 points A terrific Zinfandel, beautiful to drink now for its soft richness. Flatters the palate with deep, lingering black cherry and raspberry pie filling, vanilla, Indian spice and sandalwood flavors, but it's completely dry, with rich, intricate tannins. Only 190 cases were produced, but worth the search."

2008 Petite Sirah

87 points Steve Heimoff of the Wine Enthusiast Magazine rhapsodizes, “A beautiful Petite Sirah that takes the variety’s wild berry and spice flavors and big tannins and tames them down to elegance. It’s dry and moderate in alcohol, which is always a consideration with Petite Sirah. A minor quibble is excessive softness. Drink now.”

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon

88points “Rich Blackberry, cherry, anise...”

2009 Pinot Noir

87 points The February 2011 Wine Enthusiast Buying Guide says, “A softly delicious Pinot made for drinking now with upscale fare. It’s pale in color and dry, with very rich flavors of Dr. Pepper, raspberry jam and sweet smoky oak, folded into a silky texture.

Praises for Miro 2007 Zinfandel

92 points - Wine Enthusiast Magazine

"This is a ripe, lusty Zinfandel, with many special qualities to recommend it. It’s dry and rich in smooth tannins, and offers a flood of wild forest berry, sweet new leather, red currant, mocha and exotic Asian spice flavors. Delicious, and will hold for up to six years." - December 2009

Raves for Miro 2007 Petite Sirah

91 Points
"Miro has done an altogether remarkable job here at bringing a sense of winemaking polish to Petite Sirah without sacrificing the fundamental strength and sturdiness that are the varietal's signature gifts. Leading with very deep, slow-to-unfold aromas of blackberries, pepper and clove, the wine is rich and invitingly fruity with expansive, long-lasting flavors that show a bare hint of chocolate to the same themes of berries and spice. It is not at all sparing in tannin, yet it is never overly tough, and it is by all standards a complete and compelling effort. GOOD VALUE"

"Black- and blueberry fruit with spice notes...with a soft, seductive finish." - Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences April 22, 2010

"This starts with spicy, earthy and berry aromas and continues with a huge mouthful of blueberry fruit. The acid/fruit balance is perfect, and it has the structure to be able to age a long time."
—Piedmont Post, April 7, 2010

"The 2007 Petite just blew me away! What a stunning wine, you have the touch to capture the best of the Petite's fruit-tannin-mouth-feel and color! It will hold for quite some time if you can resist drinking it now!! Save me some..." - Heinz Steiner

"Like drinking a Cadillac." - Blake
